Railway applications - Track - Track alignment design parameters - Track gauges 1435 mm and wider - Part 1: Plain line

This European Standard specifies the rules and limits that determine permissible speed for a given track alignment. Alternatively, for a specified permissible speed, it defines limits for track alignment design parameters. More restrictive requirements of the High Speed TSI Infrastructure and the Conventional Rail TSI Infrastructure, as well as other (national, company, etc.) rules will apply. This European Standard applies to main lines with track gauges 1435 mm and wider with permissible speeds between 80 km/h and 300 km/h. Annex C (informative) describes the conversion rules which can be applied for tracks with gauges wider than 1435 mm. Normative Annex D is applied for track gauges wider than 1435 mm. However, the values and conditions stated for this speed range can also be applied to lines where permissible speeds are less than 80 km/h, but in this case, more or less restrictive values may need to be used and should be defined in the contract. This European Standard need not be applicable to certain urban and suburban lines. This European Standard also takes account of vehicles that have been approved for high cant deficiencies. For the operation of tilting trains, specific requirements are defined within this European Standard.

Bahnanwendungen - Oberbau - Linienführung in Gleisen - Spurweiten 1435 mm und grösser - Teil 1: Durchgehendes Hauptgleis

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Regeln und Grenzen fest, welche die zulässige Geschwindigkeit für die
vorhandene Trassierung bestimmen. Alternativ legt sie, für eine festgelegte zulässige Geschwindigkeit,
Grenzen zur Linienführung von Gleisen fest.
Weitere einschränkende Anforderungen der TSI Infrastruktur für Hochgeschwindigkeit und konventionelle
Strecken, so wie weitere (nationale, firmeninterne usw.) Regeln, können zutreffen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Hauptgleise mit Spurweiten von 1 435 mm und größer mit zulässigen
Geschwindigkeiten zwischen 80 km/h und 300 km/h. Anhang C (informativ) beschreibt die Umrechnungsregeln,
die für Gleise mit Spurweiten größer als 1 435 mm angewendet werden können. Der normative
Anhang D wird für Spurweiten größer als 1 435 mm angewendet.
Die für diesen Geschwindigkeitsbereich genannten Werte und Regeln können auch für Strecken angewandt
werden, die mit einer Geschwindigkeit von weniger als 80 km/h betrieben werden. In diesem Fall kann es
notwendig sein, mehr oder weniger einschränkende Werte anzuwenden; diese sollten in dem Vertrag
festgelegt werden.
Diese Europäische Norm braucht nicht für innerstädtische und Vorortbahnstrecken angewendet werden.
Diese Europäische Norm berücksichtigt Fahrzeuge, die für höhere Überhöhungsfehlbeträge zugelassen sind..
Für den Betrieb von Neigetechnik-Zügen sind in dieser Europäischen Norm spezifische Anforderungen
festgelegt.

Applications ferroviaires - Voies - Paramètres de conception du tracé de la voie - Écartement 1435 mm et plus large - Partie 1: Voie courante

La présente Norme européenne définit les règles et limites qui déterminent la vitesse admissible pour un tracé
de voie donnée. Réciproquement, elle définit les paramètres de conception du tracé de la voie pour une vitesse
admissible donnée.
Des prescriptions plus restrictives faisant l’objet de Spécification Technique d’Interopérabilité – Grande
Vitesse – Infrastructure, de Spécification Technique d’Interopérabilité – Rail conventionnel- Infrastructure ou
d’autres règles (règles nationales, règles d’entreprise, etc.) s’appliqueront.
La présente Norme européenne est applicable aux voies principales d'écartement 1435 mm et plus large, dont
les vitesses admissibles sont comprises entre 80 km/h et 300 km/h. L'Annexe C (informative) décrit les règles
de conversion qui peuvent être appliquées pour les voies d'écartement supérieur à 1435 mm. L'Annexe D,
normative, est appliquée pour des écartements de voie 1435 mm et plus larges.
Cependant, les valeurs et les conditions requises pour cette gamme de vitesse peuvent également être
appliquées aux lignes dont les vitesses admissibles sont inférieures à 80 km/h, mais dans ce cas, il peut être
nécessaire d’utiliser des valeurs plus ou moins restrictives, selon les indications du document contractuel.
Il n’est pas nécessaire d’appliquer la présente Norme européenne à certaines lignes de banlieue et de métro.
La présente Norme européenne prend également en considération les véhicules ayant été homologuées pour
des insuffisances de dévers élevées.
Pour l’exploitation des trains pendulaires, des exigences particulières sont définies dans la présente Norme
européenne.

Železniške naprave - Zgornji ustroj - Parametri za projektiranje prog - Tirne širine 1435 mm in več - 1. del: Odprta proga

Ta evropski standard določa pravila in mejne vrednosti, ki določajo dovoljeno hitrost za določeno tirno traso. Druga možnost je, da za določeno dovoljeno hitrost opredeljuje mejne vrednosti parametrov za projektiranje prog. Veljajo bolj omejujoče zahteve za infrastrukturo TSI za visoke hitrosti in infrastrukturo TSI za konvencionalne hitrosti ter druga pravila (nacionalna pravila, pravila podjetja, itd.). Ta evropski standard velja za glavne proge s tirno širino 1435 mm in več z dovoljenimi hitrostmi med 80 km/h in 300 km/h.  Dodatek C (informativni) opisuje pravila za pretvorbo, ki se lahko uporabijo za tirne širine, ki presegajo 1435 mm.  Za tirne širine, ki presegajo 1435 mm, velja normativni Dodatek D. Vrednosti in pogoji, navedeni za ta razpon hitrosti, pa lahko veljajo tudi za proge, kjer so dovoljene hitrosti pod 80 km/h, vendar je treba v tem primeru uporabiti bolj ali manj omejujoče vrednosti, ki jih je treba opredeliti v pogodbi. Tega evropskega standarda ni treba uporabljati za določene mestne in primestne proge. Ta evropski standard upošteva tudi vozila, odobrena za velika pomanjkanja nadvišanja. Za delovanje nagibnih vlakov so v okviru tega evropskega standarda opredeljene posebne zahteve.

EN 13803-1:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the rules and limits that determine permissible speed for a given track alignment. Alternatively, for a specified permissible speed, it defines limits for track alignment design parameters.
More restrictive requirements of the High Speed TSI Infrastructure and the Conventional Rail TSI Infrastructure, as well as other (national, company, etc.) rules will apply. This European Standard applies to main lines with track gauges 1435 mm and wider with permissible speeds between 80 km/h and 300 km/h. Annex C (informative) describes the conversion rules which can be applied for tracks with gauges wider than 1435 mm. Normative Annex D is applied for track gauges wider than 1435 mm. However, the values and conditions stated for this speed range can also be applied to lines where permissible speeds are less than 80 km/h, but in this case, more or less restrictive values may need to be used and should be defined in the contract.
This European Standard need not be applicable to certain urban and suburban lines.
This European Standard also takes account of vehicles that have been approved for high cant deficiencies.
For the operation of tilting trains, specific requirements are defined within this European Standard.

EN 13803-1:2010 (E) 6 3.2 circular curve alignment element of constant radius 3.3 transition curve alignment element of variable radius NOTE 1 The clothoid (sometimes approximated as a 3rd degree polynomial, “cubic parabola”) is normally used for transition curves, giving a linear variation of curvature. In some cases, curvature is smoothed at the ends of the transition.
NOTE 2 It is possible to use other forms of transition curve, which show a non-linear variation of curvature. Informative Annex A gives a detailed account of certain alternative types of transitions that may be used in track alignment design. NOTE 3 Normally, a transition curve is not used for the vertical alignment. 3.4 compound curve sequence of curved alignment elements, including two or more circular curves in the same direction NOTE The compound curve may include transition curves between the circular curves and / or the circular curves and the straight tracks
3.5 reverse curve sequence of curved alignment elements, containing alignment elements which curve in the opposite directions NOTE A sequence of curved alignment elements, may be both a compound curve and a reverse curve. 3.6 cant amount by which one running rail is raised above the other running rail NOTE Cant is positive when the outer rail on curved track is raised above the inner rail and is negative when the inner rail on curved track is raised above the outer rail. Negative cant is unavoidable at switches and crossings on a canted main line where the turnout is curving in the opposite direction to the main line and, in certain cases, on the plain line immediately adjoining a turnout (see EN 13803-2).
3.7 equilibrium cant cant at a particular speed at which the vehicle will have a resultant force perpendicular to the running plane 3.8 cant excess difference between applied cant and a lower equilibrium cant NOTE 1 When there is cant excess, there will be an unbalanced lateral force in the running plane. The resultant force will move towards the inner rail of the curve.
NOTE 2 Cant on a straight track results in cant excess, generating a lateral force towards the low rail.
3.9 cant deficiency difference between applied cant and a higher equilibrium cant NOTE When there is cant deficiency, there will be an unbalanced lateral force in the running plane. The resultant force will move towards the outer rail of the curve.
3.10 cant transition alignment element where cant changes with respect to longitudinal distance SIST EN 13803-1:2010



EN 13803-1:2010 (E) 7 NOTE 1 Normally, a cant transition should coincide with a transition curve.
NOTE 2 Cant transitions giving a linear variation of cant are usually used. In some cases, cant is smoothed at the ends of the transition.
NOTE 3 It is possible to use other forms of cant transition, which show a non-linear variation of cant. Informative Annex A gives a detailed account of certain alternative types of transitions that may be used in track alignment design.
3.11 cant gradient absolute value of the derivative (with respect to longitudinal distance) of cant 3.12 rate of change of cant absolute value of the time derivative of cant 3.13 rate of change of cant deficiency absolute value of the time derivative of cant deficiency (and/or cant excess) 3.14 maximum permissible speed maximum speed resulting from the application of track alignment limits given in this standard 3.15 normal limit limit not normally exceeded NOTE The actual design values for new lines should normally have a margin to the normal limits. These values ensure maintenance costs of the track are kept at a reasonable level, except where particular conditions of poor track stability may occur, without compromising passenger comfort. To optimize the performance of existing lines it may be useful to go beyond the normal limits.
3.16 exceptional limit extreme limit not to be exceeded NOTE As exceptional limits are extreme, it is essential that their use is as infrequent as possible and subject to further consideration. Informative Annex H describes the constraints and risks associated with the use of exceptional limits. SIST EN 13803-1:2010

EN 13803-1:2010 (E) 9 5 Requirements 5.1 Background 5.1.1 General The following technical normative rules assume that standards for acceptance of vehicle, track construction and maintenance are fulfilled. A good compromise has to be found between train dynamic performance, maintenance of the vehicle and track, and construction costs. More restrictive limits than those in this European Standard may be specified in the contract.
Unnecessary use of the exceptional limits specified in this European Standard should be avoided. A substantial margin to them should be provided, either by complying with the normal limits or by applying a margin with respect to permissible speed. For further details, see informative Annex G. 5.1.2 Track alignment design parameters The following parameters are specified in 5.2:  radius of horizontal curve R (m) (*S);  cant D (mm) (*S);  cant deficiency I (mm) (*S);  cant excess E (mm);  cant gradient dD/ds (mm/m) (*S);  rate of change of cant dD/dt (mm/s);  rate of change of cant deficiency (and/or cant excess) dI/dt (mm/s);  length of cant transitions LD (m) (*S);
 length of transition curves in the horizontal plane LK (m);  length of alignment elements (circular curves and straights) between two transition curves Li (m);
 radius of vertical curve Rv (m);  speed V (km/h) (*S). Parameters followed by the (*S) note indicate safety-related parameters. SIST EN 13803-1:2010
